He’s just finished shooting a schedule for debutant Anthony D’Souza’s Blue, produced by Ashtavinayak, in the Bahamas. This beachfront film requires him to be in top physique. But Dutt wants to take it a step further to play a James Bond-ish character in an action thriller. Talks are already underway for another mega project with the ad filmmaker-turned-director. D’Souza will direct as well as pen the film starring Dutt. The film, titled Bond (what else?) will be co-produced by Sanjay Dutt Productions and Ashta-vinayak. It is slated to go on the floors early next year. Says an insider, “Initial talks on Bond have already begun. It will be a big budget project loaded with adrenaline-pumping action. Sanjay Dutt will have a special look for the film. There will also be two other actors. Anthony D’Souza, better known as Tony, is just back from the Bahamas and is already in talks with Ashtavinayak. ” Dhilin Mehta, managing director, Ashtavinayak confirms, “We are working on a project called Bond along with Sanjay Dutt Productions but it is in the initial storyboard stages.
It’s early to spell out more details but Sanjay Dutt will act in it. As Anthony is busy with Blue, things on the Bond front will roll only after he wraps up the film. The Blue unit will also have another schedule in Bangkok.” Adds the informer, “The film will, like in any 007 film, have a lot of high-octane sequences besides the character being quite a lady-killer!”
